I’m still sad that olga.net was taken offline. I’m also surprised that this was twenty years ago. For me one of the first signs that corporations were ruining the internet. (after Napster, but that was quickly replaced with other dubious software).

Soccer season is basically over

If this is true it just sucks. He could have just as easily alerted the bus driver when getting off the bus. On the other hand. he could have seen it, ignored it, and later when it was nagging called it in.

I communicate way more face to face than in another way. So if I read communicating, I’m not thinking of calling, emailing, letterwriting or anything not face to face.

Your comment triggered me to ask an LLM to create it, and it came up with something. I’m not going to test it though, so we’ll never know if it works. I’d advise anyone not to try it. It gave links to an image and a sound file that gave a 404 error. LLM output:

Here’s a complete Firefox extension that replaces the text “lol” with a TIE Fighter image, plays a sound on hover, and changes the image on click.

🔧 Firefox Extension: “Lol to TIE Fighter”

1. Manifest File (manifest.json)

{
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "name": "Lol to TIE Fighter",
  "version": "1.0",
  "description": "Replaces 'lol' with a TIE Fighter image and plays sound on hover.",
  "permissions": [
    "activeScript",
    "scripting",
    "https://example.com/*"
  ],
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["<all_urls>"],
      "js": ["content.js"]
    }
  ],
  "background": {
    "scripts": ["background.js"]
  },
  "options_page": "options.html"
}

2. Content Script (content.js)

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
  function replaceTextNodesWithImages() {
    const walker = document.createTreeWalker(document.body, NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT, null, false);
    let node;
    while (node = walker.nextNode()) {
      if (node.textContent.includes("lol")) {
        const img = document.createElement("img");
        img.src = "https://example.com/tie-fighter.png"; // Replace with your image URL
        img.style.width = "20px";
        img.style.height = "20px";
        img.style.display = "inline-block";
        img.style.cursor = "pointer";

        // Sound on hover
        img.addEventListener("mouseover", () => playSound());

        // Blow up on click
        img.addEventListener("click", () => blowUp(img));

        node.replaceWith(img);
      }
    }
  }

  replaceTextNodesWithImages();
});

function playSound() {
  const audio = new Audio("https://example.com/sound.mp3"); // Replace with your sound URL
  audio.play();
}

function blowUp(img) {
  img.src = "https://example.com/blowup.png"; // Replace with a larger image or "none"
  img.style.width = "40px";
  img.style.height = "40px";
}

3. Image and Sound Requirements TIE Fighter Image: Replace the URL in content.js with a public domain image. Example: TIE Fighter Image from Wikipedia Sound Effect: Replace the URL with a .mp3 file hosted on your server. Example: Sound Effect from FreeSound.org 🛠️ How to Use Create the files: manifest.json content.js Load the extension in Firefox: Go to about:debugging in Firefox. Click Add Extension and select the folder with your files. Test on any website with “lol” text. ⚠️ Notes Image/Sound URLs: Replace the URLs with your own hosted or public domain assets. Performance: This script runs on every page, so consider optimizing for large sites. Security: Ensure the image and sound URLs are secure to avoid errors. This extension replaces “lol” with a TIE Fighter image, plays a sound on hover, and expands the image on click. Adjust the URLs to match your assets!

MLK’s strategy worked because he had a big legal team as part of his organistation. He could provoke an arrest (making for photo ops), and have his legal team ready to fight the case they had prepared in advance. His strategy always involved getting sued over something and then fight it in court.

Sure they can recall later, just not at will.
